So I'm thinking of getting some engine parts i previously had powder coated in a glossy finish stripped and either going with

- Satin paint
- Satin powder coating
- Black Anodizing

Parts in question

Hardline Tubes
Valve Cover
Oil Sub Plate?
Various Brakets


What is everyone using? And are you having success with regards to durability?

It will take him a moment to realize that he's about to make a 180 degree turn at speed, but you will be ready for it. Brace for the g's, and fast heel-toe work.

to powder coat the block you'd need to totally tear the engine down to a bare block, get it hot tanked and the outside bead blasted, then masked, powdered/baked. you have to take the engine out of the car and totally apart.

I believe that he is doing this to a spare engine that will then be re-installed into the bay. However, I agree, it's a LOT of work...
